Internet Casino Sucker Bets — Part II

  • Progressive side wagers: Games like Caribbean Stud Poker often contain one of these. You normally put a bet ($1 is the usual value) to attempt to win a side jackpot that could be upwards of twenty-five thousand dollars. Although big jackpots like this are very appealing, they’re also incredibly difficult to succeed. You would need to hit a Royal Flush in order to win this bet. Also, think about this- you play twenty hands and place the side bet each time. That’s 20 dollars you should have used towards the actual game wager instead of a sucker bet. Just think about what you could have been able to win at a bet with greater odds using that twenty dollars.
  • Individual number bets in Roulette: This is especially true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has two zeroes on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has just one. This shifts the overall casino edge from two% with one zero wheel to a huge fivepercent in American. The individual number bet has only a 1 in 38 chance of winning, which are very long odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red bets alternately which have a much lower house edge.
  • Keno: Any version of Keno, and regardless of how you gamble on it, the casino advantage can be a whopping 25%. No, that wasn’t a error. Due to the large set of numbers you must choose, it’s not advisable to gamble on Keno very much. A number of times for fun, perhaps. But don’t spend all your cash on it or you’ll immediately discover yourself broke.
